re: #269 Justanotherhuman

And just how many white kids have been killed for shoplifting and “dissing” the cops? I’ve seen, in the past, videos and photos of whites trying to kick windows out of patrol cars, trying to grab weapons, etc. and they were not shot.

For too many cops, Black skin is an excuse to dismiss them as human beings who should be treated with the same care and caution they would treat anyone else.

Exactly.

Put it another way - I was also no angel, and I had friends growing up who were even worse. Not one of us ever worried, or had reason to worry, that we’d end up on the receiving end of a fusillade of bullets. But, dammit, it seems like every goddam WEEK there’s ANOTHER young black man who DOES end up there for no reason apart from the color of his skin. How do you get the mass of people who have short attention spans to SEE THIS?
